Comprehensive Legal Guidance For All Types Of Business Disputes

Our seasoned business litigation lawyers can assist you with a wide array of legal conflicts. We understand that effective business litigation requires a strategy tailored to the specific nature of your business disputes. While our business law services also include broader commercial litigation involving outside entities, internal disagreements can threaten to tear your company apart. We help companies resolve:

• Partnership disagreements: Conflicts between owners regarding management decisions, financial matters or the direction of the business are extremely disruptive to internal operations.
• Employment disputes: Legal issues arising between an employer and its employees, such as wage claims, wrongful termination allegations, or disputes over employee contracts, cause disruption.
• Shareholder and corporate litigation: Disputes among shareholders or within the board of directors regarding corporate governance, ownership or control of the company can affect your bottom line.
• Breach of fiduciary duty: Claims that a partner, officer or board member failed to act in the best financial interest of the business can harm your company’s reputation if not resolved.
• Commercial litigation and contract disputes: Disagreements over a contract’s terms, performance or termination might require the guidance of a seasoned contract law attorney. We also handle business-to-business commercial litigation.

We understand that you have invested significant time and money into building your relationships and your business. Our business litigators will explore every possible resolution before recommending litigation. We believe in the value of preserving your business relationships and your company’s foundation whenever possible.

How Can Mediation Help With Business Litigation?

Mediation is one of the most effective and preferred methods for resolving business lawsuits, especially those involving internal conflicts. In mediation, a neutral third party helps all sides communicate their positions and explore mutually agreeable solutions. This is often faster and less expensive than pursuing full-scale corporate litigation.

Mediation allows you to maintain control over the outcome. Unlike a trial, where a judge or jury imposes a decision, you and the other side are empowered to craft the final settlement terms. This process is particularly useful for internal business disputes where the parties might need to continue working together or maintain a relationship. A neutral environment helps diffuse tension and allows for creative solutions that a court could not order. We prepare your case for mediation as rigorously as we would for trial, giving you the best chance to secure a favorable, lasting resolution. Our partners also serve as certified mediators.
